Thanks anon.

Not running much tonight, but I wanted to get a new thread set up. Tomorrow I'm running once my hangover is done.

Last time on Overwatch Quest, Part 2: The Last Crusader:

You and Tracer took the Aurora to Eichenwalde, Germany, a small town in the black forest mountains and the site of a legendary battle between the Crusader knights and the Omnic forces. There you found the last Crusader, the man some called the heart of Overwatch, Reinhardt Wilhelm. Some kind of strange remote drones were repairing the overgrown Bastion units from the battle. Fighting your way through the Omnics, you encountered the armor of Reinhardt's master, Balderich, that somehow came to life on its own and attacked you. You were victorious in the battle, but the cause of all this remains unknown.

>>997171
You should drink more water to help with the hangover.

You, Tracer, Reinhardt, and his armorer Brigitte, are leaving Eichenwalde for the Aurora, parked in an open field outside the town. Brigitte starts to transfer the battered Crusader armor from her hover-sled to the aircraft's small cargo hold. Reinhardt gingerly levers his bruised frame into the passenger compartment. Tracer hops into the pilot's seat and begins the warm-up sequence. She checks the scanning array. "Bandit, there's something still registering on the scanner nearby. About a hundred meters thataway. Can you check it out?"

You move to the other side of the aircraft. You see something in that direction. At this distance, it almost looks like just a big clump of moss and flowers. At this point, you suspect otherwise. Another Omnic? You approach warily.

It is, in fact, another Bastion unit. But something about this one seems different. Its panels are white, and the central eye is glowing blue. It's holding up one of its hands, and you see something small and yellow there, perched on its finger. A bird? It chirps merrily up at the Bastion unit, which tilts it head to examine the bird.

I was wondering if we were gonna meet this fella!

I'm not familiar with Overwatches lore so exactly how intelligent were standard Bastions units anyways?

>>997226
>how intelligent were standard Bastions units anyways?
not that smart the main reason they are dangerous is the modes they can enter into like sentry and siege mode

those modes gave them great versatlity

Bastion untis were frontline combat units during the war, though not much else is known from that. If we can go off of The Last Bastion short, they were used to overwhelm defenders through both numbers and firepower while the heavier units podded along behind them.

>>997235
But will it blend?

>>997235
When i say smart i'm wondering how they would compare to the standard Omnic. Were they as intelligent, capable of making decisions and performing complex tactics, or were they "Slaved" to a single higher mind that delivered there orders and the Bastions themselves were only capable of basic functions such as movement and shooting.

>>997258
>or were they "Slaved" to a single higher mind that delivered there orders and the Bastions themselves were only capable of basic functions such as movement and shooting.
pretty much this

>>997261
So how much anatomy did Bastions have without a Overseer to control them? Would they revert to Last Bastions state, Go to a berserk state and destroy preselected targets that were in sight, or just enter a standby mode until a connection was reestablished?

>"Slaved" to a single higher mind that delivered there orders and the Bastions themselves were only capable of basic functions such as movement and shooting.

It was pretty much this, yeah. The OG Strike Team's primary targets during the war were taking out the command and control structures of the Omnics.

And the Bastion was merely their infantry unit---think about that. A dummy AI-commandeered robot that could turn into a small tank and a gigantic gatling gun was the bread and butter footsoldier. This is coming from a force that commanded superheavy walker units that were about the same size as probably Warhound scout titans from 40k lore at the complete other end of the spectrum.

>>997271

I'd assume that, without the C&C structure, they'd shut down--kinda like how the Battle Droids deactivated after the Droid Control Ship blew up in The Phantom Menace.

>>997273
So if a Overseer class Omnic or a human who could mimic them accurately enough, looking at you Sombra, they could reactivate his base programming and force him out of his standby mode. You guys know of any good firewalls we could upload into him or would it be better to try and delete his old programming?

>>997290

If we delete his old programming there's a chance we'll delete whatever makes Bastion, well, Bastion. I'm sure Wintston or someone else can come up with some cybersecurity for him, though.

>>997295
We would not be rewriting his memory's just his underlining nature. It would be more like removing a reflex if we would use a human analogy; instead of being forced to react to a outside stimulus he can instead have the choice to react to the outside order. If all else fails we could slave him to Athena and then not give him any orders so he remains in his current state.

You approach carefully, walking with quiet steps through the grass. As you do, you try to remember anything you know about the intelligence of Bastion units.

The Bastions were mass-produced soldiers, created as peacekeepers. In the Crisis, they were turned against humanity, and formed the primary combat unit of the Omnic army. If you recall correctly, the basic soldiers were only given enough programming for basic combat maneuvers and objectives. An Overseer program would order it "go here, use this formation, attack humans" and it could carry out that mission with relative autonomy. Nothing beyond that. But ...

The Shambali monks claim that Omnics have souls. You're not sure about that, but it's hard to deny that Omnics are more than just robots. Self-improving software is the foundation of their code. Some strange things have come out of there, things that no human ever put there.

You observe the Bastion unit doing something, manipulating the mossy overgrowth on its torso and arms. The bird flies around it in circles, tweeting away merrily. You magnify the view with your helmet. The robot is adding twigs to a half-finished bird's nest on its shoulder.

Now isn't that something.

Okay. You've come this far without killing it. Time to try introducing yourself.

"Hello?" you say to the Bastion. "Can you understand me?"

The Bastion's head swivels in your direction. You wave to it, wondering if it understand human gestures. The blue light in its eye flickers. It rotates its body to face you.

For a moment you feel like you've made a huge mistake. You just survived your first real Overwatch mission against half a dozen Bastions and some kind of freaky reanimated Crusader armor, why did you have to go and mess it up like this right at the end--

The Bastion beeps. It raises its hand slowly. Then it waves at you, in a stiff-jointed copy of the gesture you just made.

"Wow," you say. "So you're a ... a friendly Bastion? Is that even possible?"

The Bastion tilts it head quizzically, like a dog. It beeps.

"Right, I guess I'm not going to get much an answer out of you. Huh."

How bout we call Bandit "Lodestone".
Means a magnetic rock

>>997499
nah.
seekers already in the lead and it's kinda cool.
actually since we are basicly a criminal indiana jones, how good are we at tracking?

Reinhardt is gonna trigger Bastions' ptsd like mad yo.

>>997693
It's gonna go both ways I bet

>>997693
well maybe we can do some field repairs on him,
i'm sure we've dealt with crazy robots and how to fix them in our adventuring days

>>997188
>http://www.strawpoll.me/12003268

I'm personally going with Bandit being our actual real name (and everyone just assumes its a nickname or call sign) and Seeker being our official Overwatch name.

Makes sense if his whole schtick is being good at finding stuff.

>>997703
man if our actual name is bandit our parents must have hated us.

>>997703
>I'm personally going with Bandit being our actual real name
that's pretty stupid but ok

>>997701
Nothing has shown that we have any kind of programing skills.Some engineering and metalworking maybe.

Or best bet is to take it nice and easy. Can't just introduce the two and expect them to be chill.

Get Tracer and Briggite to meet Bastion first, then hen they're on board and friendy they can keep Rein from acting aggressive which'll go a long way towards keeping Bastion from trying g to shoot up the place.

I knew a guy named Bandit, it's not THAT weird of a name.

>>997742
you know one person in the world who's name is bandit in the shear scale of the world and all the names people have; bandit really is a weird name to have

>>997755
It's really not as uncommon as you think.

I mean, it's not like Jack, or Dave or Michael or anything, but fuck, people name their kids Google and shit. Bandit is not that weird.

I also met a guy who's name was Bear. Ironically, he was a pretty skinny dude, but that was the name his parents gave him.

>>997789
It's a pretty weird name mate.

I'd rather just abandon it in favor of Seeker or something.

Oh, why not just go with Guardian?

>>997841
How about we want to be called Bandit but everyone refuses to call us that and instead call us Seeker.

Something about this Bastion is different, that's for sure. If nothing else, it's an oddity worth studying.

You think about what might happen if you walked away. Left the strange robot alone, in a country of people still scarred from the brutal onslaught of enslaved armies of Bastions just like this one. Would it really be safe?

No. Sometimes people find it too hard to forgive. You're not sure if you could blame them.

So what can you do? Just leave it here to die? A lonely Bastion that might have developed a ... what do you call it, a soul? A conscience? Free will?

A crazy idea occurs to you.

"I don't know if you can understand me," you say to the anomalous Bastion. "Do you know what you are? What you were used for? People might want to hurt you, because ..."

The Bastion looks down at its right arm, the submachine gun. It emits a distinctly sad-sounding tone.

"That's right," you say. "Because of what you were made to do. But I can see you're not like that. If you come with me, I have a place we can go. A place you can be free to exist."

The Bastion beeps, questioning.

"It's not much of a home yet," you say. "But you might like it anyway. Hold on, I'd better check with my partner here." You activate your commlink. "Tracer?"

"What's up? Find anything out there?"

"Yeah, I did. Something interesting. It's a Bastion that's, well it's not attacking me for starters. It's just standing there peacefully, looking at me. I think it's even trying to talk to me. I mean, it's building a damn bird's nest on its shoulder, and the bird is at this very moment flying in circles around the robot, tweeting."

"Are you pulling my leg, mate?" says Tracer. "That sounds like a bloody kid's cartoon or something."

"I'm looking at it right now," you say. "Maybe you'd better see for yourself."

(Continued)

>>998192
>"Are you pulling my leg, mate?" says Tracer. "That sounds like a bloody kid's cartoon or something."

Funny coming from the time traveling pilot who's best friends with Dr. Zaius

"I don't believe it," says Tracer. She walks slowly in a circle around the Bastion, maintaining a safe distance. "You were even right about the bird's nest."

The robot's head tracks Tracer, rotating the full 360 degrees. It beeps inquisitively.

"Try talking to it," you suggest.

"Er-- hiya," says Tracer, waving to the robot. It returns the wave and adds a series of beeps. "Spooky. Maybe it really does understand us. Have you heard of the Shambali, mate?"

"Heard of them," you say. "Something about Omnics having a soul?"

"That's right. Tekhartha Mondatta said that Omnics and humans were spiritual equals. That we were all one within the Iris. Could this Bastion have had some kind of ... spiritual awakening?"

"I'm not sure about any of that Iris stuff. But I know Omnics have self-improving code, too complicated for human programmers. The idea of it "waking up" somehow isn't that far-fetched. I mean, I'm looking at the evidence right now, which helps."

"Wow," says Tracer. "What do you think we should do with it?"

"I, er-- I may have invited it back to the base--"

"You did WHAT?"

"It won't be safe out here! Eventually someone with a grudge against Omnics will find it, someone whose father or brother was killed in the war. What do you think will happen then?"

"Someone will get hurt," sighs Tracer in agreement. "Either this omnic or a human. And I'm not okay with either of those. Of course, you realize what this means."

"What's that?" you ask her.

"We have to explain this to Reinhardt."

We can probably persuade Rein's engineer friend with a practical argument and she'll have a lot more pull with him than we do. Rein never struck me as an Omnic hater. Bastions killed his mentor but that's war for you. Nothing personal.

>Practical something had to activate those Bastions at that castle, along with your masters suit of armor, whatever turned them on i'm willing to bet that it also turned this one on for the same purpose. Now for whatever reason this one is not interested in killing us so right now he is our best bet in trying to figure out who was behind those other ones.

>>998227
>Persuasive
>Practical

because not only is it now a person but it's also a badass that IF upgraded can take on much larger things.
i think that we might need it honestly. we don't see this but if the storyline continued i could see a second omnic crisis or at least a war happening because of talon. we are going to be needed for it.

>>998254
>Lets face it we have a science Guerrilla, a time traveling pilot, a German angel, a medieval crusader no offence, and a renegade freedom fighter all on the same team. We crossed the absurdity line long ago
That's not quite an argument that holds water in this universe.

>>998281
which is great

>>998300
Yea but it's not the best argument but it's the best one i can come up with; the Practical one is meant to be the main one we are going to try and bring him over on the idea of it.

>>998309
the best way we can go about this is that he is no longer one of the bad guys and he's could help us in a few ways. first is to see what started him up and second is to have his giant gun pointed at the other guys

>>998336
We just fought a bunch of other reactivated Bastion units back at that castle and we just happen to run into another one?
Whatever turned them on, still looking at you Sombra, most likely reactivated this one as well; just so happened that for whatever reason this one dose not want to kill anyone. If we can trace the signal he received we will have a lead on whoever reactivated those other ones.

>>998237

"Follow me, pal," you say to the Bastion. "I think we've got just enough space for you in our ride." Experimentally, you take a few steps in the direction of the Aurora, and look back. The Bastion takes the same number of steps towards you, stops, beeps at you. "Good Bastion," you say, wondering if you should be treating it more like a dog or a human. How smart is this thing? Does it have a sense of pride?

The three of you walk towards the Aurora. You say to Tracer, "Maybe I should ride on its shoulders."

Tracer says, "Ride it? What for?"

"To show dominance," you say. "Or it can be my battle steed. I'll ride it into combat, shouting "I have tamed the Omnic! Fear me!""

Tracer giggles. "I'd fear that right enough. A man rides a recon Bastion into battle, who knows what he's capable of? You did already air-surf on that repair droid back there, if I recall."

"Heh. Yeah, that I did."

"Those were some pretty slick moves today, mate," she says. "You handled yourself nicely. I was already confident after me old friend gave you his recommendation, but it's nice to see that confidence pay off right away, you know? I've got a good feeling about this. About you and the team."

"Thanks, Tracer. Okay. Time to try and persuade Reinhardt ..."

As it turns out, the old warrior isn't actually that hard to convince. "The Overseer programs were always our true enemies," he says. "One single Bastion unit, not controlled by anything? When my enemy strikes me, do I blame the hand that held the weapon, or the mind that controlled the hand? But my friends, I worry. What might happen if it were to be taken over once more? We must prevent this."

Brigitte is the one who needs convincing, but eventually a practical argument gets through to her. "Not only is it a person," you say to her. "But it's a badass. We need some firepower to help defend our home turf. And we've just had it handed to us. A tame Bastion. How useful is that? Also, whatever reactivated these, maybe it left a trail. Investigating this thing's register could give us a lead, help us stop an attack like this from happening again."

"Fine," she says, throwing up her hands. "Just don't come complaining to me if it goes berserk and blows up the base."

At your request, the Bastion slowly approaches the aircraft. You and Tracer look at each other. "Er -- should it go in the cargo hold, or--?"

"Come inside, my new friend," says Reinhardt, gesturing to the passenger compartment. "There should be just enough room for the three of us. Perhaps we can trade war stories, eh?"

The Bastion beeps happily, clanks towards the passenger doorway.

You and Tracer get yourselves seated in the cockpit. You say to her, "I think that went well. In addition to Reinhardt and his armorer, we somehow ended up with a maybe-sentient Omnic on the team."

"It'll be kind of like having a dog around the base," Tracer says, punching in the power-up sequence. "A big, metal dog with a gigantic machine gun."

"It's funny," you say. "We went to recruit the last Crusader, and found the last Bastion as well."

The Aurora lifts into the air smoothly and takes off for Gibraltar.

You're divided between first visiting the Bastion unit in the server room, or Winston in his laboratory. Getting Winston to look at your equipment is a priority, but you figure the server room is closer to you and on the way to the lab, so you go there first.

Bastion is standing motionless in the middle of the room, a maze of wires connecting him to the large computer servers surrounding him. Tracer is leaning against the wall nearby. "Morning," she says to you, stifling a yawn. "I stayed up last night watching the security system to make sure our new friend here didn't get up to any funny business last night. He stayed still pretty much the whole time. He waves at me if I wave to him, beeps at me if I talk to him. That's about it. Winston has him plugged in to some kind of diagnostic program."

"Has it found anything out?" you ask.

"Not much. Its brain, or whatever you want to call it, looks like it's divided into two sections. One's the original Bastion unit military programming. The other is a jumbled mess, ones and zeroes that seem to be random. Athena is analyzing the random noise section now. Hasn't found anything."

You scratch your head, looking at the robot. "And it hasn't communicated beyond beeping? I know it doesn't come equipped with a voice synthesizer, but surely now that it's patched into the computers, it could write to us, or use text to speech?"

"You would think so," says Tracer. "But it just beeps! I even tried typing to it using the interface here. More beeps. How can it understand what we say, but not communicate back to us? Bloody mystery if you ask me."

To Bastion:

>Good morning, Bastion.
>This place is your new home, if you want it.
>What secrets are you hiding in there?

To Tracer:

>We were a good team yesterday.
>Let's talk about our next mission.
>You should get some rest.

So when this is all said and done are we just gonna cordon off the server maintenance area for Bastion? Or can we let him wander around the base as he pleases?

Also, how the hell are we gonna try convincing the more vehemently anti-Omnic future members--like Torbjorn or pic related--that this particular 7-foot tall gatling gun on legs is totally different from the other 7-foot tall gatling guns on legs that ran roughshod over the world some twenty years ago?

"You should get some rest," you say to Tracer. "I'll stay patched in to the security, keep an eye on our friend here. We can talk about our next mission later."

She stifles another yawn. "Okay. Thanks, mate. G'night." She sleepily walks off to the crew quarters.

You turn to face your new robot friend. "Good morning, Bastion."

It beeps at you. Three notes, the middle one slightly higher. Is it trying to say "good morning" back?

"This would be a lot easier if you could talk," you mutter.

You walk over to the interface Tracer mentioned. It still displays the queries she typed in. "What do you want?" "What is the nature and origin of your present mind-state?" "What is your favorite color?" "Do you like ice cream?" There's no answer to any of them.
You look at the Bastion. It stares back at you with its single, unblinking blue eye.

"What ARE you?" you ask it, out loud.

No answer.

"I wonder if you're learning anything just from listening to us talk," you wonder out loud. "How about it, Bastion? Learning anything from the wonders of human speech?"

Nothing.

"Your bird friend came with you, right? Does it have a name?"

Silence.

"Beep boop boop," you say. "Beep?"

It tilts its head at you.

You sigh. Just like that time you tried meowing at your cat.

"Let's try this," you say. You pull up a chair, spin it around, sit on it backwards with your arms folded on the backrest. "If I ask you a question, beep one time for yes, or two times for no. That should be easy, right? Can you do that?"

A pause, Bastion staring at you. Then: beep!

"Okay, good stuff. Making some progress. Let's see. Control question first, I guess. Are you a Bastion unit?"

Beep.

"Do you know where you are?"

Beep.

"Do you want to be here?"

Beep.

So far, so good. "Do you remember anything, before we found you in that field?"

Beep-beep.

"So you don't remember the war?"

A long pause this time. Bastion's eye light flickers. For a brief moment, so fast you're not sure it actually happens, its eye color switches from blue to red. Then it's back to normal.

It beeps twice again.

That's not nearly as comforting a "no" as you were hoping for.

That was unsettling. Can a robot have combat PTSD? For an Omnic that was once a soldier in a war, and now appears to enjoy the beauty of flowers, sunlight, and birdsong, maybe that's as good a name for it as anything.

Looks like you're not getting to the bottom of this any time soon. For now, you try your best to reassure Bastion. "Hey, it's okay. You're safe here. None of us are going to hurt you, or erase your programming, or whatever. We are going to keep trying to find out what's up with you, because, let's face it, you're kind of mysterious. Maybe once Winston is done his diagnostics he'll let you explore the base. Right now, just ... chill out here. Okay?"

Beep.

"All right, I'll see you later."

Bastion beeps and waves good-bye as you exit the server room.

Next it's time to stop by Winston's laboratory. Maybe he can help you do something about upgrading your equipment. In the lab, you find the gorilla sitting at his computer, making breakfast out of a banana and an entire jar of peanut butter.

"Morning, Winston."

"Ah! Our new recruit. Good morning. Tracer told me last night about your mission. It appears you were even more successful than we anticipated. Not only Reinhardt Wilhelm and his armorer friend Brigitte, but a remarkably pacifistic E-54 Bastion unit. A curiosity indeed."

You ask Winston about:

>Upgrading your equipment.
>His communication satellite project.
>Another Overwatch agent (Tracer, Mercy, Reinhardt, Bastion).
>His personal history.
>Your next mission.
>Something else.

>>999158
>Upgrading your equipment.

>>999158

"Winston, do you think a robot can have PTSD?"

"You're referring to our new friend in the server room, I take it? I can't say for certain. Artificial intelligence really isn't my speciality. Hmmm." Winston thinks it over. "If the Bastion did participate in the war, it would undoubtedly have memories stored of traumatic events. How that would interact with its current mind-state is beyond my knowledge, but I could surmise that, yes, it might be similar to the post-traumatic stress disorder experienced by combat veterans."

"Interesting. Well, maybe we'll figure out what's going on in that head of his. For now, I'm just hoping to find some kind of lead to use on whoever was repairing those Bastions at Eichenwalde."

"One can only hope."

"Anyway, Winston, I was thinking about upgrading my gear," you say. "If I'm going to be an Overwatch agent, my old tricks aren't going to cut it. I need something with some "oomph", you know?"

"I happen to have a suggestion on that very subject. While you were out on your mission, I cooked up a surprise I'd like to show you. It's back here," he says, knuckle-walking down the stairs and towards the back of the lab.

You follow him, looking around at the science equipment scattered around. "How's that project you mentioned coming along? A communications satellite, right?"

"It's coming along nicely. In a bit of a slow period right now. Compiling. But that gave me time to work on ... this!" The gorilla proudly holds up a compact device of machinery and circuits, with several loose wires and small tubes coming out.

"Thanks, but what is it?"

"It's an entanglement capacitor," he says. "Usually called an Ultimate Charger. This little gizmo here is how we Overwatch members gain access to what we call our Ultimates."

"Wow. How does it work?"

"To begin with," says Winston. "What is your background on quantum entanglement and zero-point energy squirt reactors?"

You stare at him blankly. "Er ..."

"I see." Winston adjust his glasses. "Okay. You know that your gear runs on a power source called "smart reactors", correct? Without getting into the theory, entanglement capacitors interact with smart reactors, and charge themselves on quantum energy as your equipment is used. Once it's at capacity, you can spend the charge to activate an armament or ability beyond your normal power capacity."

"So ... as you fight, you charge up, and then unleash a big attack?"

"Precisely. That's how we use our most powerful weapons. Tracer's pulse bomb replicator, or Reinhardt's seismic resonance impacter. They draw power from an Ult Charger as we fight. It's a rare technology these days. Few scientists still have the knowledge to create or repair one. Fortunately for you, one of them happens to be your friendly neighborhood science gorilla, yours truly. And I've just finished this one for you!"

(Continued)

>>999158
>Upgrading your equipment.

"Could you take a look at some of these schematics? It's mainly all theoretical stuff I've been tinkering with but I'd like to get an expert opinion."

Outlines for a bunch of magnetism related gadgets here. Possibly with a lot of notes and doodles about some sort of armored frame to mount them on.

>>999268
>An in-universe justification for ults
Huh.

Time to select an Ultimate!

Note: Our MC's equipment is all based on a patchwork of highly modular tech from the golden age. As such, unless otherwise noted, no equipment choices will be permanently locked in.

You have five equipment slots. Depending on which slot you install the Ult Charger in, you'll get a different Ultimate.

(You may find other interesting things to equip in these slots very soon.)

Sword (Attack 1)
Omnislash: Strike rapidly multiple times against nearby enemies.

Gun (Attack 2)
Gravity Gun: Gain 3 penetrating hitscan shots for significant damage.

Left Hand (Active)
Shadowshot: Fires a magnetic anchor that latches onto enemies, dealing damage and amplifying further damage against them. If a tethered enemy moves too far away from the anchor, the tether snaps, and the enemy is damaged and stunned.

Boots (Movement)
Shadow Dash: Gain 3 charges of a dash that damages enemies and releases homing projectiles.

Chest (Passive)
Agility Amp: Activate to gain increased movement speed, ability cooldown, and melee damage.

>>999404
>Shadow Dash: Gain 3 charges of a dash that damages enemies and releases homing projectiles.

>>999404
>Gravity Gun: Gain 3 penetrating hitscan shots for significant damage.
like hanzos dragon?

>>999404
Install in left hand slot. Allows allies to get in on our ult. Plus we might be able to bullshit our way into using it as an emergency grapple.

>>999419

>>999404

>>999404

>>999404

I wish MC has more oomph in his history, like he always wear a mask because something happened to his face or he's hidding his identity or he has some viral disease or smthing. Also can someone give me the link to the part 2 of the quest.

Slash sounds a bit too much like Genji's, gun sounds a bit too much like Hanzo's. This, though, this might be something worth looking in to.

How big of a damage drain is this? How much larger of a damage boost do they take? Can you reattach teh tether to another enemy if the first enemy dies?

We've got a clean winner so far in Shadowshot, so unless there's a sudden swell of support for Omnislash or Shadow Dash in the next few minutes, that will be our first Ultimate. Reinhardt and Zarya prepare your "Welcome to the CC Club" party banner.

If you're a fan of a different option, remember you can change it later, so you'll have another opportunity.

I remember someone threw around the idea that one of our parents was a politician partly responsible for disbanding the original overwatch. I kinda like that angle.

>>999597

maybe he's also a big member of talon and we found out that he was one of the ones responsible for a bad situation. after we find out about this he put out a bounty for our head and we needed to put on a mask for protection.

You upload some basic schematics of your gear to Athena. "Very interesting," she says. "I haven't seen ARES tech in many years."

"I've had plenty of ideas over time about how I might upgrade my gear if I had the resources," you say to Winston. You bring up a blueprint you've created for a device that fits over your left hand. "The one I want to use the Ult Charger for is something I call "Shadowshot." I believe with this compressor and these graviton actuators, here, I can create a tether, or a leash, out of gravitational force."

"I see, I see." Winston ponders your schematic. "This is quite interesting. For a man who claims not to be a scientist, you seem to have a natural grasp of graviton mechanics."

"I'm just a gadgeteer," you say. "Tracer tells me you're quite the engineer yourself, that you recently designed some kind of portable barrier shield?"

"I did indeed, yes. It took many sleepless nights and more than a few unfortunate explosions. But now that it's finished, the Barrier Projector will undoubtedly prove highly useful on deployment."

"Think you can apply some of those skills and help me build the Shadowshot?"

"Absolutely. Let's get to work right away."

It's about mid-day when you emerge from Winston's laboratory, stretching your arms and blinking in the sunlight. The device is almost complete, but you need a break. Winston was kind enough to provide you with some of his bananas for lunch, which makes a welcome break from the generic nutrient paste in the crew quarters. You take a old plastic deck chair up onto the roof of the communications array, and eat your bananas there, looking out over the Atlantic Ocean.

After lunch, you:

>Go back to the laboratory and finish the device.
>Check in on Reinhardt in the medbay.
>See what Brigitte is setting up in Engineering.
>Find Tracer to see how she's doing.
>Something else.

>>999739

Bugger.

Also, as the artfag who drew masks in the 2nd part, any visual details about the "tether"?
Im imagining it as a Bola-launcher that anchors parts to the ground and increases magnetic/gravitational forces on them.

So if you shot Pharah mid-flight, she'd slam down onto the ground and maybe stun her?

>>999961
But more importantly: can it pick up chicks?

>>999985
No, but Bastion can.

>>999945
I'm so ready for him to voice doomfist

Man, I am hype for the ult.

>>999985
I'm sure it can if we develope anti-grav/magnetism tech into it.
So anyone without a tether or flight power will probably suffer massive fall damage, if that's even a thing.

It fires some kind of anchor, which creates energy tethers to all enemies in a radius around it. I haven't decided what it will look like yet. It could be a wrist-mounted launcher, a hand blaster, or something else. If you direct-hit someone, including in midair, I suppose it would create the anchor right there.

You won't leave Winston to finish your project alone, but before you head back to the lab, you decide to check in on Reinhardt. He took a beating in yesterday's battle, and you want to make sure he's recovering.

As you pass through the "dip" in the Watchpoint's road (why is this here again? you ask yourself, not for the first time), you pass by the storage room that Brigitte has used to set up her forge. You can hear her hammering away, trying to fix what she can of the Crusader armor.

The Watchpoint's perhaps ambitiously named "medbay" is another repurposed storage room, out by the launch pad. It's a room that you and Tracer earlier set out a few cots and some basic medical supplies in, just the bare essentials. For anyone to actually recover in this room, they'd need some kind of doctor, like --

"Mercy!" you say, surprised.

Angela's here in the medbay, patching up Reinhardt. "Hello," she says. "Reinhardt here was just telling me all about your adventure yesterday."

To Mercy:

>I hope he said, uh ... nice things?
>When did you arrive?
>I'm glad you're here.
>Something else.

To Reinhardt:

also yeah the backstory thing is just to give him some ideas so he can map out our character! we probably don't have a very fleshed out backstory.
like the hole sick idea could have been a friend and we were already a adventurer. we would have tried to help him but his death and us finding out about how it happened made us go revolutionary. but if he wants to do something else good for him. it's his story not mine.
im just giving sa few ideas is all.

I'd keep it under your hat for now.

All the backstory we need is that we were outraged that Overwatch was shut down and MegaCorps rose and ovetook everything as a result.
We became a Robin Hood because we couldn't stand to let it happen and we never forgot our goal; be what overwatch was in spirit. Good people going out to do great things for the sake of others.

"I hope he said, uh ... nice things?"

"Indeed he did. What was the phrase you used, Reinhardt? A "dashing display of swordsmanship"?

"I believe it was, Angela," says the old warrior. "Young man, you did fine work fighting that machine-ghost in possession of my Lord Balderich's armor. I understand you are the first Overwatch recruit in many years? I am proud to have you fight under our name."

"You guys are gonna make me blush," you say. "How are you holding up, old timer?"

"A few cut and bruises." He receives a stern glance from Mercy. "Perhaps a little more. It could have been much worse, but you dispatched our enemies with impressive efficiency. That is quite the compliment you see, coming from a German." He laughs. "You should have seen it, Angela! Bastion units rising from the dead, like my tale of Dr. Junkenstein come to life!"

"That was some scrap we got into back there," you admit. "But together we pulled it off."

"We claimed glorious victory!" shouts Reinhardt, pumping his fist, then wincing. "Ach--"

Angela tsks. "Honestly, Reinhardt. How many times must I tell you to mind your stitches?"

Reinhardt lowers his fist meekly. "Ja, frau doktor. Our recruit here was luckier than me. Although if I remember right, that one Omnic gave you a good punch in the mouth, hah hah!"

You rub the sore spot on your jaw. "Yeah, thanks for reminding me."

Mercy says, "You were injured? Let me have a look at you." She gets up and moves towards you. She stops right in front of you, examining your face where you rubbed at your jaw. "Where does it hurt?"

You're taken aback by this, an unexpected and up-close inspection by an intensely beautiful blonde woman. "Uhhhhhere?" you say, hoping your voice didn't up up too high at the end there.

Mercy observes your injury for a few moments. You try not to panic, or stare at her too intensely. What are you supposed to do in this situation--?

"Minor hematoma," she says. "I can give you an ice pack, if you'd like."

This is a good summary.

For the rest, it's cool you guys are brainstorming and coming up with ideas. Nothing has to be decided for a while though, and our protagonist's past is less important than his future.

Sounds poetic when you put it like that.

Also, drew a thing or two.

>>1000479
Another reason why I love you, Raven.

You're doing a damn fine job in this quest, and I thought my impression of you as a QM couldn't get any better after Thug Quest.

But what if he forgets his past, and sells out his future for revenge?

Now's not the time to be a showoff. "I'll take it, thanks."

Mercy goes to her medkit, brings out a small bag of blue gel. "It's dynamically thermo-regulated," she says, returning to you. "Which is a fancy way of saying it will change to be the temperature that will best reduce pain and swelling. Just hold it next to the affected area."

You hold the ice pack onto your jaw, and feel the pack shift from room temperature to a brisk but pleasant chill. "Neat. Thanks."

We're cool, don't be an asshat and ask about all that cool tech shiiiiiiit.

Mercy is so damn good hnng

So our ult is a singularity anchor? It's a bolt that draws enemy towards it allowing us and our friends to easily get multi kills for a limited time?

>>1000555
>Take care of what you needed to in Switzerland?

>>1000574
Talon already knows where we are. But still a good question to ask I suppose.

>>1000575
no it's basicly scorpions dart except we don't pull it back and it increases the gravity and slows down the enemies around.
i we get to far it breaks and does some decent damage to the area. or it's just singular which is cool i guess

>>1000580
I worry that Talon won't be the only ones who might put a tracker on her.

>>1000574
seconding

>>1000587
I think that's more boring than what I thought it was.

True.

"So," you say. "Take care of what you needed to in Switzerland?"

"I did, yes. I have some capable assistants who should be able to pick up some of my work load. The University was not so prepared to be flexible, but in the end I convinced them."

"How did you get here, anyway? Did someone pick you up in the Aurora?"

"I hired a small private aircraft to take me out to the Spanish coast, and then a local fisherman brought me to a beach nearby. There's a hidden path through the cliffs that leads to the base. Fortunately the front door communicator still works, so Winston let me in. Otherwise I might have looked a bit foolish."

"Did you, er -- check to see if you had any trackers on you?"

Mercy smiles. "I'm no legendary criminal like yourself, according to your reputation. But I'm not entirely unwise in the ways of the world. I went over my clothes and luggage carefully. Even if that Spanish fisherman recognized who I am, and forgets how well I paid him, I didn't bring him to the exact beach. So I'm quite sure I haven't left a trail."

"Good to hear. Just making sure." Talon already knows where the base is, of course. But they might not be the only ones interested in learning about the new Overwatch.

Also, did she just call you a "legendary criminal"? That's good, right?

"Of course. Now if you'll excuse me, I must finish my work with my patient here. I'm sure we'll talk again soon, perhaps at dinner?"

"Right, that reminds me," you say. "One last question. We've been living off nutrient paste, protein bars, and bananas. Where can a guy get some real food around here?"

Angela smiles. "You're asking the right woman. I know a wonderful local grocery with air drone delivery ..."

>>1000744
Thanks for running Raven. Hope you had a good new year and whatnot.
I'm curious, how far from the established canon of the series do you plan on going? If we decided to kill some people or do some things that differ wildly from the story, would you let it happen?

>>1000744
Thanks Raven

Anytime I see "German doctor" I get confused about Mercy and am like "Isn't she a Swiss doctor?"

>>1001048
>"Isn't she a Swiss doctor?"

I'm telling you guys, when it's time for the Waifu Wars, we need to go for Mercy.
